Hi people =) ,
I was surfing the net in search for exercises we could do before singing.... and found this! :
Instructions
Posture and RelaxationStep1 :Make sure you are standing properly and without tension.
Exercises
Step1: Be alert and listen carefully.
Step2: Say, Ma-Me-Mi-Mo-Mu, letting your breath flow evenly.
Step3: Make the transition from speaking to singing on the sounds of Ma-Me-Mi-Mo-Mu as described in "How to Do Vocal Exercises."
Step4: Sing on just one note that is comfortable for your voice range.
Step5: Listen to evenness of tone, volume and pitch on that note.
Step6: Make the sound flow evenly in a "bow stroke": (Ma...Me...Mi...Mo...Mu...)
Step7: Continue with the exercise and find the sounds you enjoy most. Use those sounds as models for the rest.
Step8: Sing Ma-Me-Mi-Mo-Mu on five different notes within a small range up and down the scale. Starting on the note C, that would be Ma = C, Me = D, Mi = E, Mo = F, Muuuuu = G-F-E-D-C.
Step9: Try not to force the sound in any way. Don't waste breath; focus is what you're after.
Breathing
Step1: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to prepare yourself mentally for singing.
